When taking a patient’s history, clinicians may ask about participation in sports because it provides health and lifestyle informa- tion.

    Current p SYCHIATRY Sport psychiatry How to keep athletes in the game of life, on or off the field Some athletes’ toughest opponents are depression, addictions, and eating disorders. Managing these patients’ mental illnesses is a new niche for psychiatry Antonia L. Baum, MD Clinical faculty Department of psychiatry George Washington University Medical Center Washington, DC port psychiatry—a relatively new subspecialty— emphasizes treating mental illness caused in athletes S by a pre-existing disposition, stressors unique to sports, or use of anabolic steroids or other substances. Sport psychiatrists do not set out to enhance an athlete’s perfor- mance, although effective therapy may produce that outcome. Athletes of all ages and levels, from Little League to the Olympics, are vulnerable to psychiatric disorders. Using real- life examples, let’s look at the practice of sport psychiatry and examine common psychopathologies in athletes. Psychiatry in the gym Psychiatric illness in an amateur or professional athlete may arise from coincidence, a predisposing pathology that first attracted the athlete to the arena, or a psychopathology caused by the sport itself. Some athletes succumb to suicide (Box 1),1 although insufficient data exist to establish the prevalence. Educating athletes, their families, coaches, and trainers about mental illness is key to identifying at-risk athletes and VOL. 2, NO. 1 / JANUARY 2003 51 Sport Psychiatry careers are relatively short because of their physical demands.

  • Eating Disorders in the Male Athlete Antonia Baum Department of Psychiatry, Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, Virginia, USA
    Sports Med 2006; 36 (1): 1-6 CURRENT OPINION 0112-1642/06/0001-0001/$39.95/0 2006 Adis Data Information BV. All rights reserved. Eating Disorders in the Male Athlete Antonia Baum Department of Psychiatry, Fairfax Hospital, Falls Church, Virginia, USA Abstract Eating disorders do occur in male athletes. They are less prominent than in female athletes, and therefore in danger of being missed. The high-risk sports fall into the same categories as with females: aesthetic sports, sports in which low body fat is advantageous, such as cross-country and marathon running, and sports in which there is a need to ‘make weight’, including wrestling and horse racing. Athletic involvement may foster the development of an eating disorder. Some male athletes, in their preoccupation with body image, will abuse anabolic steroids. While sports participation may contribute to the aetiology of an eating disorder, the converse is also true. Exercise may be used as therapy for some cases of eating disorder. In order to adequately treat eating disorders in the male athlete, it is first essential to identify cases. Psychoeducation of athletes, their families, coaches and trainers is an important first step. Counselling an athlete to pursue a sport appropriate to his body type, or to leave his sport behind altogether (an unpopular recommendation from a coach’s perspective) can be important to treatment. Treatment of co-morbid psychiatric conditions is essential. Treatment can be structured using a biopsychosocial approach, and all appropriate modalities of therapy, including individual, family and group, as well as psychopharmacothera- py, where appropriate, should be applied.
